Alachua Highlands (Alachua, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, a 7-year price record, and the year-by-year record — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 93.6% of original asking; the median sale took 27 days (window ending 2026-08-02).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |

Over the recorded series, Alachua Highlands’s median sold price moved from $348,000 (2014) to $650,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +87% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2014 at $348,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Alachua Highlands’s median moved +49% from 2019 to 2022. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 4 closings a year (10-yr average 2.2). With roughly 2.2 closings a year, Alachua Highlands’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
What actually trades here: 100% single-family residence, with a median of 2,475 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $263 in the current window.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 1981 and 2013 (median 1993); 6 of 6 listed or recently sold homes report an HOA, median $25/mo; none of the 6 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 123 ft).

At Alachua Highlands’s $650,000 median and Alachua County’s adopted 16.56 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $10,760 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $10,110 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Alachua County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $925,000 against the $650,000 recorded sold median (+42%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 4.8 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 50% of Alachua Highlands’s listings are under contract, against 28% for ZIP 32615 and 24% for Alachua County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Since 2004, 72 Alachua Highlands listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (3 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 48% of Alachua Highlands listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 75%. Momentum’s market-heat index for Alachua Highlands reads 52/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 67% of recorded Alachua Highlands sales in the window ending 2026-06 (2 of 3) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. With asking prices running +42% over the recorded sold median, a Alachua Highlands listing priced against the closed record above stands out against its competition; one priced against the asking crowd joins the statewide list of homes that never sold.
